Chapter 0496: It wasn’t him who made the call
Chen Ge nodded and didn’t refuse, “Drive.”
”Thanks.” Huang Ling was soaked to the skin and sat in the main driver’s seat, “My house isn’t too far from here, I can get there in ten minutes.”
The lights came on, and Huang Ling drove a few other people through the rain, driving along the highway towards the distance.
No one opened their mouths to speak along the way, everyone was thinking about their own things.
At one in the morning, the car drove to Huang Ling’s rented neighborhood, which was in a remote location, very close to Liwan Town.
”In the past, the city was going to vigorously develop the eastern suburbs, and then I don’t know why it didn’t work out, and as a result, it left behind this large area of buildings constructed up to halfway, and the people who originally lived here moved away one after another because of various reasons such as transportation and life.” Huang Ling drove the cab directly into the district, the large district is not even a light is on, the feeling is like entering a ghost town: “A few years ago when the eastern suburb of Jiujiang was ready to build a new district, the price of housing was high and scary, and now there are only chicken feathers left on the ground, and there are still residents like us who are being punked.”
Through conversation, Chen Ge became clear about the woman’s past, she and her husband took out all their savings to buy a house in the eastern suburb of Jiujiang a few years ago.
At the beginning, the two were still ecstatic because they grabbed a suite in the eastern suburbs, waiting for the establishment of new areas in the eastern suburbs, the house appreciated in value.
But who knows not long, the developer due to capital rupture, debt disputes and other issues delayed delivery.
In order to buy a small couple spent all the family savings, but also owed a lot of external debt, they and other owners want to join forces to find the developer a statement, but the other side is dragging their feet again and again, and has been to the present.
The project was inexplicably called off, spent all their savings to buy the house became unable to move into the rotten building, the couple can only rely on rental housing.
Life is not easy, during this period, the husband also had a car accident, and now basically rely on Huang Ling a person to support.
”Here we are, this is it.” Huang Ling stopped the car, took her bag and hurriedly ran upstairs, Chen Ge and Xiao Gu followed behind.
Inside the residential building, only the lights on the first floor were working properly, the walls were blackened, seemingly due to moisture, and a faint musty odor wafted through the hallway.
”Jia Ming!” Huang Ling came to the fourth floor and opened the door with her key while yelling at the house, she was terrified in her heart and was worried that what she was afraid of would become a reality.
Looking at the panicked and uneasy Huang Ling, Chen Ge and Xiao Gu didn’t say anything, in their opinion since Huang Ling’s husband would call at that time and knew that the car was full of ghosts, it meant that he himself was probably dead, and that he had turned into a ghost as well.
The key couldn’t be stuffed into the lock hole half the time, Huang Ling’s hands were shaking with anxiety, but just then a man’s voice rang out from the house.
”What took you so long to come back? Where did you go at night? I’ll call the leader of your company ……” The door of the room opened from inside, and a haggard looking man with a limp appeared in front of Huang Ling’s eyes.
”Jia Ming?!”
Huang Ling was very excited to see the middle-aged man, she directly reached out and wanted to hug the other party, but was dodged by that middle-aged man without a trace, “The clothes are soaked, what the hell have you been doing here?”
”I’ll tell you later, you didn’t have an accident on the line, today really scared me.” Huang Ling’s voice choked, “I’m going to change clothes first, these two are my saviors, I will drive them home later.”
Huang Ling entered the house, and the crippled man blocked the doorway, without the slightest intention of letting Chen Ge and Xiao Gu enter the house and sit down.
Outside the door, Chen Ge and Xiao Gu looked at the crippled man and also felt strange, this man was alive and well, how could he have called Huang Ling at that time? And how did he foresee that bus 104 was full of ghosts?
”Your wife met a bad guy, and it was the two of us who saw fit to save her.” Chen Ge glanced towards the house, the room was neatly tidied up, the man was a standard housewife, and there was nothing strange about him.
”Hey! Where are you looking?” The man was very wary of Chen Ge.
”Nothing, can I borrow your cell phone? My cell phone is dead and I want to report to my family.” Chen Ge spoke indifferently.
”Then you wait here.” The crippled man went inside and handed Chen Ge his cell phone.
”Thanks a lot.” Chen Ge casually flipped through the communication records, the man had indeed made several calls to the woman tonight, but all of the calls did not go through.
It wasn’t him who made the calls?
Chen Ge pretended to send a few messages before deleting the record and returning the phone to the middle-aged man.
In the house, Huang Ling had already changed her clothes, wearing casual clothes, she exuded a mature and sensible beauty, “Hubby, you stay at home, I’ll go and send the two of them back, it’s what I promised people before.”
”No way!” The crippled man did not even think about it and directly refused, “It’s one o’clock in the morning, I don’t trust you to follow them out, let them take a taxi by themselves, the big deal is that we will pay for the car.”
”It’s raining so heavily outside, where do you want us to find a cab?” Chen Ge boarded his face and looked at Huang Ling, “What do you think?”
Huang Ling hesitated slightly, but finally walked out of the room, “Hubby, the situation is complicated, I’ll tell you more about it when I come back.”
”You can’t go anywhere tonight! You’re going to run outside at one or two in the morning? Are you crazy?” The crippled man reached out to grab Huang Ling’s arm, but was stopped by Chen Ge.
The man was obviously a bit scared of Chen Ge and didn’t speak with too much energy: “What do you want?”
Carrying the backpack single-handedly, Chen Ge’s pupils slowly narrowed as he stared at the crippled man’s face, “I’m a very reasonable person, I fulfilled her request, if she didn’t do what she agreed to with me, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
The atmosphere was a bit tense, and in the end, Xiao Gu and Huang Ling persuaded at the same time before the crippled man snorted coldly and reluctantly agreed to come down.
”Don’t mind you guys, my husband is a bit cautious, he’s usually like that.” Huang Ling handed Xiao Gu the umbrella and towel in her hand, “I haven’t thanked you properly in the car before.”
”It’s okay, I understand.” Xiao Gu giggled and took the towel, wiping his face.
”You two don’t dawdle, go downstairs first.” Chen Ge walked towards the stairs expressionlessly, not saying a word during the entire process.
Walking out of the building, Chen Ge sat on the passenger side of the cab, he pulled open the backpack zipper, his hand reached into the bag and grabbed something.
Huang Ling saw her husband did not have an accident after the hanging heart finally put down. Only after the loss will she know how to cherish, she decided to never argue with her husband again and live a good life.
The cab started and drove into the middle of the rain, Chen Ge, who had been keeping silent, finally opened his mouth.
”Huang Ling, have you ever realized that your husband has become different from before from a certain period of time?”
As the rain hit the car windows, Huang Ling heard Chen Ge’s words and thought seriously for a while, “There’s nothing different ah? What’s wrong?”
Chen Ge paused for a moment and slowly spoke, “I suspect that man is not your husband.”
